Some oiio who calls himself " A Democrat from the Northwest " is trying to delend Judge HPAr.ntna in the column! of ihe Cincinnati Enqnircr. He says tho Judge has a plain right to treat tho lw ns unconstitutional if ho so regard it that if it is unconstitutional it is no law that it ia defending and supporting the constitution and the government to treat the law a B nullity, &c. The asmimptinn thut the law ia unconstitutional, nnd all the oilier inferences, constitute the very giat of the offence. Who selected Aim to judge of the constitutionality of the law? There is a Supreme Court of iho United Slates nt Washington, whose business it ia to da-cide lliin point, and several of tho jndgos have, on their circuit, decided tho law to he constitutional, while notu of them havo ventured on the expression of a contrary opinion. If each citizen ia to be permitted to form nn opinion about tho lawn of the State and nation, and huso hia net inn thereon, ho must be prepared to tako the consequences. Possibly he may bo right. Possibly the court, whoso duty it ia to determine, may uatain hia views, But if they do not, them is no valid oxcuso why the penalty that ia provided against law breaker alionld not be inflicted. This pretence that each diiu liaa thu right to judgo of tho jusiicennd expediency and constitutionality uf lawn, and to treat the law as a nullify if it ia not acceptable, is all wrung, and mnat be put down, or there ia an end of all government. The vorieit horae-thiof or counterfeiter in tho land can escape piiiiiahtuuut if this plea in to be respected and allowed. We are not required to love every law, or to he in favor of every law. We may object to any measure, and nie all legal means to have it repented, and all this is legitimate and proper. II we permit our opposition to go beyond that and tako it upon ua to trample on the law, then we go beyond the boundary of good citizenship, and must take the consequences. This distinction is so palpable and lies so completely at tho very foundation of a republican government that it ought to be understood and respected by every good citizen. The argument of this Northwestern Democrnt does not at all satisfy the editor of the Enquirer. In commenting on tho communication he closes with the following:"The truth is, there can be no decent apology fur Judge Spalding's cunduet. lie haa dictated uimelfiti our opinion, and we havo no notion by our ailencc, to allow that disgrace to attach to the Democratic party. Ed. E.-vquiiuk." Straws showing the set ot the Wind. A very nice young gentleman once offered to negotiate a loan ol a business man, cm a piece of very " doubtful " piper, carelessly add-ng that he would endorse it as addltiotial security lo the louder. "Humph" was the reply, "Me note ia bad enough without the addition." Tuis anecdote has buen frequently brought to our recollection nf late, on seeing in the Northern papers (Free-soil included) euthusiaaiic notices of the " Union Constitutional " candidates io Gcorgi i, Alabama, aud Mississippi, with warm wishes for their success. We append a small sample of their kind and quality from the Ohio Slate Journal: "Charles C. Langdon, editor nf the Mobile Advertiser, has accepted the nomination of tho Whigs of his district as their candidate lor Congress. We receive tho Advertiaer regularly, and rpgard it one of the beat paers wo receive troiu I lie South, Mr. Langduu will probably be elected, aud will be an honor to hia district and Slate." The Free-soil orthnrdoxyof this organ of Ohio Whig- fory, no man in his senses wilt deny. It knows its riends at the South. Southern Preaa, We laughed heartily over tho intioJuctory part of the above, and still insist that U is very pussublo wit. The practical application is, that the endorsement of Mr. Lanodon, by the Ohio State Journal, only make it more evident th it tho said Liinnoif is a free toiler. This pun Is a little too dim and far-fetched to be either good wit or good stne. . In the first plaee, we aaid nothing about freo soil; and in the second pluco, we know nothing nbout Mr. Lanoook's notions on this particulnr biauch of polities. Wo only Unow him as u Whig, nf decided ability, and as an ardent and uucom- promising Union man, utterly opposed to the lire eating disunl'nists and traitors that swarm in some parts of the South. The Southern Pma insists that no man in his senses will deny the fret anil orthodoxy of the Ohio State Journal. Nw, we wilt inform llio editor that several men In Ohio, who claim to be aniie, sensible people, insist that the Jmrnal ia the organ of thu pro-tlavery party. All the exclusive, nothing elio but fiue soil papers will prove very satisfactorily to themselves tlmt tho Southern Preti isenihcly misUken. We have no par ticulnr interest in this controversy, hut will beg leave to suggest to tho ciniibainnts I lint the Journal ia tho or gan ol neither. It ia a HViif paper. The editor baa got it into hia head i lint there are n several persons in the Union beside nerot'i, and never.il important inte rests beside those of free Mi. Wo trust Iho Southern Prtaa and the free soil papers o Olii.i will solllo vexed question somehow. We noticed a now Untnre in our railr-tnd travel yesterday. One car was almost entirely tilled with Lumbermen, who bad floated down iho Ohio nnd M aisippi from the pine regions of the Allehiny river, in Pennsylvania and New York. Those men visit nil points from Pittsburgh to New Orleans; nnd tifter His posing of their lumber, find their way homo with the proceeds in their pm-ket. Heretofore they have taken the steamboats for Pittsburgh, and then got to their homes as host they could. They now tnko tho cars nt Cincinnati lu the morning, nnd the next morning find themselves at Brio, Pa., Dunkirk or rtuftaln ; and from these places, the moans of getting lo their homes ate direct and moid. They save some days' time, and some dollars in money by taking tho now route. Very like n tMorm. The Chicago Commercial Advertiier gives an account of a tremendous tornado that psed over Wiutiebngo and Ogle counties, Illinois, ou tho Ut of Juno. It seems that Gov. Hkrr was caught iu it, but narrowly escaped Tho following details will be roud with in terest : The house of Mr. Miller, in Oglo county, between North Urove and liyron. 1 here was nut one person, lady, in the house when the aiorm struck it. Sim ran to close the door, hut was Caught by tho whirlwind and earned n distance of twenty rods, and dropped into a slouch, and the softness of the ground prevented any injury, the house was torn to atoms. The next houto in its course was that of the father ol Mr. Mdler, which was severely injured. Tho old gentleman was severely, but not fatally hurt. The next bouse was that of Mr. Hurch, His family was iu the house at the limo of the tornado. The whole building was caught up and removed twenty feet aud let down upou the roof, an as to leave the rid lem in the earth; it was again caught up and carried nbout thirty rods iu ine tiosom ot the tornado, nnd linaiiy dashed to pieces, i he wtte nt William tfiirrh, and tiei three children, ami ihe wife of Uemamin and one chili all perished, being literally torn to pieces. I). Bun was severely but it is thought pot mortally iuhircd His aurriviiiir child was sliiMitlv bruised. Out of the eight persons in that ill-fated house but two remain to remember the terrific scene. The next Inmso belonged to Mr. Shoemaker. There was a young nniu in it, who at ino appmurn ot in storm, attempted to lien out at the door, hut failing tialhe dropped Ommvh the floor in time to let lb house go teimntluss through the heavens. Hut he anon followed, ho was taken up and rarried near half a mile and dropped in a grove ot small timner, and marvel-lous as it may atqiear, the only serious injury he received was the dislocating of the wrist. The names "f all the sufferers we could not learn t but Imuses, barns, fences, orchards, oaltle, and in short, everything that came within the way of the tornado was swept away. Gov. Ilebb, who was returning home to Freeport from Rock ford, with a cooking stove, furniture and pipe in the hack part of his wagon, saw the storm approaching and atlompted to drive out of its way. lie succeeded in escaping himself, but the furniture of his stove and pipe were cauiiiu in tne loius ot tho whirlwind and carried to parts unknown. A gentleman who in company with Gov. Dobb ex amined several miles or tne tracK ol the storm, do-acribes the country as being literally atrewn with the wrecks and fragments of build inga, furniture, fences and dend animals. A gentleman who witnessed tho march of tho tornado, describes it as ono of terrillic nnd sublime beauty and grandeur, presenting the appearance of an inverted cone, the base covering an urea of about 40 rods, its eoluinn gradually oxpniiding until it lost itself in the heavens, tho wrecks of its devastating power whirling iu wild confusion around the awful vortex, or driven y centrifugal force beyond tho radius of the whirlwind, fulling in ruin upon iho prairies.

The principal employees iu tho place were milk- maids, or dairy-women, who were in the service of the i larger farmers, engaged in making butter and cheese, lor which the village hnd atiite a favorable rennUitinn. Having stirred up the miuds of these damsels to the proper pitch, he vailed a public meeting lor a redrehs ion ot meir grievances. The village school house was the place of assembling, and the tallow dips, suspended from the tin reflectors ' about the room, throw a flickering, ghostly light over' thu faces of tho audience. Miniled with the urnun of males, were a few of tho sturdier sex. and nuiten number of rngged urchins and overgrown boys. The reformer, who was aurpriaed at the number iu attendance, felt an unusual inspiration of genius, and mode ono of liia happiest addresses. Hecommeiiced : " Fellowcitizensand senile friends.

Determined to strike while iho iron was hot, the re former moved that a hill of rights bo immediately "reed niton, to which iho employers should be com pelled to f-ive their assent. J he motion prevailing, he drew from hia porkot a paper which, to inve time, he had previously prepared, and which read as follows: " Whereas it ia the inalienable right ol overy woman engaged in a laborious occupation to have all the coin- oita whirii sue requires; ana wnerens, tho better to re cure these cnmlort. and to add to them audi luxir rtes as shall be lit the station alio ought to occupy, it is neeessaty that thero should tie union ot ellort among all engagod in tho same description ul toil: thoro fore " Rf tot vol.

Thea resolutions were passed nem con., although ui'iny uf the sensible (and therefore tho more bashf ul) girls present at the meeting saw that they were im practicable, and, if adhered to, would tend to nothing but mischief. Still no one liked to bo pointed at as on the side of oppression, aud so no voice Was raised in opposition.The next day alt die milk-maids of the place were ou a "strikt," and tne whole town was m s lerment. The scene in tho picture which I am noticing occurred at a largo farm bouse, where alt the assembled girls were demanding uf the owner his consent to their " bill of rictus.." " I'll tell you what, girts," said the old farmer, " I've lived here, boy and man, for nigh fifty years, and have always maue my own bargains, and never bad a word of dilliculty with my help unless somebody else interfered. Some women folks are worth more than others, aud them as earns good wages always gets it. I've had five or six girls married from here, aud they've all turned out well. Sometimes one has got uneasy and left, but such kind never did well anywhere.

" All the choicest hands stayed ; a few others left, and soon applied to come back, but their places were filled bynew comers. The old farmer's steady employment, kind treatment, and ready pay, were too welt known not to call out those who appreciate the advantages of sucn a situation, uver the history oi those who lett lot charity draw a veil; they had fallen under evil influences, and were led on to ruin. I would lhat all who have a zeal for the kind of ref ormatinn here alluded to would pause ere llioy liegin their work, nnd ask themselves sorioiiftly what tltey hope to nccotiiplifh. Hut experience shows us lliut few will hoed any kind of warning it is much easier to provoke n "uouunily tmliacDiili-ol und r.iolilfurtt"" than lo incite them to u patient coutinuenco in well doing. A fflurdur in France The Paris correspondent of tho St. Louis Republican rclntes tho following horrible transaction: Paiiis, May 14, 1851. A terrible affair of Ihe most thrilling' interest is about being judged by the criminal court of Mons. In one t my letters last winter, t tteiiovo I mentioned tho leatfi of a Mr. Fougnies, at tho chateau of bis brother- law, Count Bocarme, and of the nrreat of the latter and his wife, an spec ted of having murdered the young man. I have forborne to apeak of the trial heretofore, preferring to wait until the evidence had brought some L'bt upon the dread lul circumstances. Hut now thut Madame do Bocarme has confessed, and lhat sentence if death will certainly bo pronounced upon the tins- band, I nmy relate tho particulnia of a crime which ireibly rocnlls all the terror of the murder of the Duchess do Pnisltii. Count Bocarme nnd his wife bo-long to two of the most noble aud honorable families Franco. He, when a young man, was very dissipa-I, so much ro that his father, in the hope, id' reform ing him, scut him to iho United States, where lie remained several years. Nearly two years wero spent iti Ht. Louis, and probably some of your citizens may II remember the haudhomo dishing young Count, who spent his money so freely, nnd who made himself so agreeablo in every society. Hisfatberdied, undhe returned to r ranee to lake pnnsesion ol a title and a large estate. In less than two years, however, he had run through alt his fortune, nnd was besides so burdened witli debts that he was obliged to contrnct a wealthy nllinnce, in order to save himself from ruin. Ho marriod Mademoiselle Emilie Fougnies, a young liuly who had spent most of her life in a convent, but who was endowed with a great deal of imagination. and a very romantic turn of mind. She bad written , one or two novels which hud some literary merit. This tudy and tier brother wero tho only heirs to a large property, which soon after the marriage of the former, was equally divided between them, Nu fortune, how ever could last long iu the hands of such a man as ount tiocarino. lie played high, wns chief man ol every horse rnce, nnd, in short, at the end of a few years found himself in almost ns desperate a condition as when ho married, and be now looked forward to the deatli of his brother-in-law as the only means of relief, as tne Uountcsa would of course inherit all tier brother's property. Tho health of M. de Fougnies seem-od to give great Impo that the wished for event would not be long in occurring. Besides being of a delicate constitution, lie had in his youth met with an accident winch deprived him ol one leg, and materially injured his health. It was for this reason that ho never thought f marrying. He was deeply attached to hia sister ut soon discovering too unprincipled character of the Count, ho discontinued his visits to the chateau. It was hen tlmt he began to feel the need ol a companion at Home, and was finally induced to offer bis band tou very estimable lady ot rank in ihe neighborhood. He was accepted, aud the preparation tor the marriage be- ii. It was then that M. de Fougnies determined to make is sister a visit in order to inf orm tier in person of the approaching change in his condition. , Ho therefore wrote her a note saying ho would dine with her the next day. Poor man ! little did he expect the prepara tions lhat would be made to receive bun. lie arrived at tho chateau, and according to the testimony of the domestics, was greeted with cordiality by the count, and with great alloc lion by ibe countess. Dinner was served, and the sonants were then ordered to loave he room. It chills the blood to think of the scone that followed. Madame de Bocarme, according to her own confession, hud ordered tfie female servants all to go and remain with the children in another part of the house very far removed from the dining room, and the men servants were eutiug their dmucr in tho basement1 1 tie wretched woman says that the threats ol her litis- aud forced her not only to witness, but to aid in the scene that ensued. A glass ot poisoned wine was ol lered to tho devoted brother, hut he declined drinking any more. The count instantly sprang up, throw M. de rougmesdown, aud while the countess held htm, potir- il tho liquor down his throat! Ho lived but a few minutes, in great agony. Just before tie hreuthed his ant, however, one of the women servants who had ppmnclied the dining-room, door, and hearing groans entered without ceremony, She was shocked at what ho saw, but she says lhat neither ihe count nor counl- 'bs shed a tear, or seemed tho least acitated, as they luted lhat M. do Fougnies had fallen down in nu apu- leclic lit. Tho wouinli did not believe ibis, but went nit and immediately sent oil an account of tho affair to tho prefect. He came, and utouiuqtiiring into the circumstances, found the answers of iho husband nnd wile so unsatisfactory that ho committed both to prison. Tho physicinua declared upon examining the body of M. do Fougnies lhat poison enough had been adminis tered to kill four men. It is impossible to tell you tho excitement the tiovvs of thu d rend lul murder caused in tho fashionable circles of Mmis and Paris, where the count and countess wero well known. Doth husband aud wile stoutly nnd iuvarialdy denied any agency in thu death of M. do Fougnies, until a week ago, when Madiimo de Bocarmo made a fullcoiih'ssiou. What the rdict of the jury will lie in regard to her, it is imtms- siblo to say ; but her husband will certainly Im con demned, lie, b.is ii I ready tiled to commit suicide iwice, but without success. Poor wretch ! for the sake of a little property lie did not hesiiate to tako the lito of a brother who had never wronged him, and nn ignominious death on the scaffold ia the fate ho lias brought upon himself. Pros IttToriii A lliylriiiiV) Opinion. An inti-Uiceut medical gentleman is disc inning in Ui Boston Journal the proposed change in the dress of tin females, and doing it with such good la to and good Bense, that we winh him to have u hearing in our own columns. Thn main iminls ho presents are l would be more hetdthu particularly if iho reform were carried a step f unlit r, and a dress fur the waist adopted, with which a lady could pick cherries with nit aplilimg n it-ovo oil, and piny at itntlteiionr With out an expenditure nf hooka and eyes. Iho material could be better adapted to Ihe season It could t hero-fore bn made cooler in summer and warmer iu winter. than at present. The trousers would lie the essential purlnt ihe habitual drens; thn skirt an addition for graee and propriety. Comfort, therefore, would not ri quire ao lieutient a chango of iho latter as is now necessary; wtido with the former, with a little trouble, (and tli ere fore pot ao liable to bo neglected as now,) inuaiiii might give way to merino, or tins tocassimer, to suit a momentary demand of out-door exercise, or liauge m the weather. Damp skirls hanging, as is if ten tho case, for tho hour, about the feet and ankles, wuuld ho done nwav with t whilst the latter, olad in nn appropriate boot, would bo as independent ot m weather ns mono oi mo men. A still further, and possibly more important consid eration, ttudor this head, is tho following, to which I auk particular ntteulimi. bither to obtain the neces sary warmth, or to attain a greater eieganro oi lorm the skirts now woru are multiplied ereutly in number, besides being ol heavy material, weighing- though it may astonish aninoof my lady readers themselves when I say it Hi, l' and ii pounds! All this weight is supported by the tups atone, producing two st rum evils. First, (ho drawing strings around tho waist havo to be very tight, lo prevent Iho skirts from slipping down 1 and thus a coinpres-tion is produced and continually kept up, which must embarrass tho organs within in the exorcise of their functions, Hut, besides this source of trouble, the weight of tho skirls is continually operating to force downwards the organs within, only covered by llio partially rcaistnnt but pliant walls of the iibdoinen.

There is time enough to deliberate on this sub ject, and good sound reasons why we should act in con cert when the day ol aft tou comes, The Democratic, parly secure of a majority in Con gress, can very well all'urd to quarrel and run sectional candidates.

The Courter and Enquirer Buys; Although thirteen of tho States of tho Union have yet to elect Representatives iu the ttMrty-second Con gress, mere is iitiio uimcuuy m ariving at a pretty close estimate of the relalivo strength, of parties in the House d urine the two sessions next ensaimr. A mons the eighteen States whose delegations are already full, are included the great Statea of New York, PenusyWa- nia and Ohio, so that even a slight miscalculation of the results to be anticipated in the elections yet to uccur, cannot mntermllv rhanvA thn aanert of the ense. Itl true lhat party lines have been very much disturbed of iute py exciting sectional issues ; out experience ieac ir es tlmt there is little difficulty m hxing ine relative position of secessieuists or freesoilers. Upon all ques tions involving a nartv vote, thev are quite sure to act with the parties, respectively, to which they claimed al legiance prior to trie estatnisnmeui oi sccuousi uivis ions. The following table exhibits the relative strength of parlies, so far as the delegations havo beon filled : FrewolL Frwsnll, Whigs. Demoorats. Whig. Democrat.

That ih Whigs will do so badly in these States at the ensuing elections is hardly possible. Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and other of tho Southern States are merging old party divisions, and mnking Union or Dis-union tho rallying points. In Virginia, too, whose Representative strength is the greatest among the States who have yet to elect, this issue will enter largely in the crudest. We can hardly fail to gain something in the States thus enumerated, while nt the snme time wo have nothing to lose. In Tennessee, ndiana and Kentucky, also, ir our friends aro active, venunnnt fail to improve our present condition; while in California we have every mnsonto anlipate a gain of two. Still wo cannot hope to elect more than half of e members which remain to ho chosen. At tho best. then, we may anticipate no reduction nf tho present Loco mnpinty uu;ongrrss, it indeed tt be not increased. In view of tho derangement of party lines, growing out of the sectional agitation of the hist year or two, and iho multiplication of I'roaidentialtcundidates, it is becoming a question whether tho duty ol electing a President of tho United States will not devolve upon lie House of IleprosentaliveB. The pnssibilityof raich an event renders unusually important tho political complexion of that body. Each Stato, in that case, will have otie vote, to be controlled by tlm viows of (be majority ot its delegation, lu only nvoot tho thirteen States which have already elected, have the Whips a majority, white the opposition controls eleven, and two New York and Rhode Island aro equally divided. This disparity against us wo cannot expect to overcome in the Congressional elections yet to tako pluco ; and it will be seen, therefore, that our only reliance must bo upon tho people nnd the Electoral College. In this view, it becomes doublv important that in nrenar. ing for the coming campaign, nothingshould be omitted men is calculated to concentrate tho entire Whig voto the Union upon the regular nomination, when it all have been made.

Mr. Editor: In this morning's paper we see a long article on the ever-engrossing subjectof Railroads, Wo are somewhat Democratic iu our railroad ideas. In dis cussing (hecompordw mmsof tho three proposed routi of shortening the distance betweeu the Queen aud the Forest Cities, it is not an item to consider only the primary expense, lu oilier words, we are oi tne opinion, and not without meditation, that the road from Springfield Jo Loudon is, to uso an old maxim, " penny wibo and pound foolish." That the primary expense would be much less is very evident. But whether ihe same amount of general good would be done by this short cut, is a matter about which "commentators ouout lo disagree." To take a Democratic view of the subject, do you not think (for we know you to be liberal minded) mat uuion county ought to have the bone tit ol somo ot tho internal improvements that are now being constructed t As you have very candidly alledged, the counties of Union and Delaware are " rich ami of unbounded resources." But, dear sir, what are iho conveniences lor bringing theso great resources into market I True, tho Delaware people can hear the fuint echo of the iron horse's neigh," as ho madly plunges through thoie " muddy brakes," but, as if fearing lest tho iron hoofs should disappear in their "dark, deep mould," he hurries by, only leaving iu his misty train the "gaping mouths and "staling eyes" of the affrighted people, and butchered thicks, as a testimony of " passing away." But in Union county, notewn the echo of tho gushing steam not even the show or em-blance of any thing of the kind, disturbs the quiet of tho sleeping vales. Does this look Democratic 1 Is this monopoly spirit tho same which the Democratic Whig nf Guliimbus acknowtedo thouiseivea t be governed by Did it ever occur lo you lhat if you lay a rule on tho man of Ohio, one end on the Queen and tho other on iho Forest City, that in an almost rfi- t tme, un (i iiiauiieany ine shortest, tnu line passes Ui ton fil the modest villages of Mansfield, Delaware, and Xenia T As a citizen of Columbus, I think it will appear very selfish, iu ub lo discuss the comparative merits of the shortest way to get the main roads from the River to the Lake to pass through our city. When the objection to any such project is so evident, would it not ho ihe " better part ol policy " to advise what wo bioien to be right, and avoid " even the appearance of evil " I Lot us remember then the patriot's cry, "Mm Sibi, nonSi'A seo patria" I Yours, respectfully, A CITIZEN. Ourcorrespoiidont places this question on the ground of patriotism, nnd we decline any controversy thereon, as it is un element not moch discussed among railroad men, and capitalists who aro urged lo tako stock. There aro a great many points lhat it would assist wonderfully, to accommodato with a good railroad. But tho great primary question, will it pay, must first bo settled, and then another question will be connidend : cannot this object be secured by some other ruuie ut less expense? Upon these points tho question of location depends. The people of Springfield wish to connect with tlm Cleveland mad, and also with somo great mute to tho East. And we of Columbus aro equally desirous of connecting with some great Western thoroughfare. All these objects can bo secured by the Springfield and London road. Heuce, wo think it worthy tho attention of capitalists. If tho road from Springfield to Delawure can lie built, and will pay, we can interpose nu objection. We desire that all parts ot the State should have the benefit of these roods. Af ter alt, capitalists and business men have to settle these questions. Correspondence of the Journal. New York, June 14, 1851. There is no littlo speculation going on hore, in refer ence to the abrupt terminnliuu of Barnum's engagement with Miss Lird. Some would endeavor to make it appear that a rupture has taken place between the two parties, which has led to this sudden change in their business relations. But there seems to bo no grounds fur such suppositions. On the contrary, the answer of Miss Limd, accepting tho offer of releaie made by Barhuh, ia indicative of the same friendly feelings, lu all respects, which before existed. As stie will, during the summer, give concerts on hor own account, she will no doubt be overy where received ai welcoraely as she has been on her late tour through our country. Bahhum certainly has a shrewd aud sue- ceaaful way of managing affairs, but I do not think that to this is owing the prosperity entirety of the con certs, while under bis direction. Jemhi Lind does, and ,will stand on her own merits. By these she attained the high rank which she has in Europe; and had she come to us uuknown, she would, undoubtedly, have boor succeeded in obtaining here a name and reputation, as a vocalist, which many might envy, but few or none reach. The bill tor the Enlargement of iho Battery, which lately passed the Board of Aldermen, has aroused much nttention. The matter was talked about two or three years ago, but was almost forgotten, when it is again brought to notice, in a manner, which compels opposition to the scheme to be made at once, or nut at alt. It is yet a mooted question whether the filling in of so large a space, on each side of Oustlo Garden, may not result in placing obstructions in our harbor by diverting the river from its present channel, which may seriously affect the interests of commerce, aud tho pros- jwriiy of our metropolis. Before any steps should be takcu, involving consequences nut fully to be foresoen, in a measure like that above mentioned, the subject should be most calmly considered iu all its bearings. For when the thing is once done, the mischief, if any. is irreparable, ihe Chamber of Commerce, fully aware iff the imparlance of the proposed Enlargement, hold a special meeting to-day, lo examine into Ihe matter and review. the probable effects which may en sue, it the proposition shall tie matured. The report which will emanate from this body will bo well worthy nf attention, and will, no doubt, have its due weight with ihe Mayor, with whom the aflair now If tlds shall take the ground that the Enlarge. mont will cause no injury to our harbor, and shall bo baaed on tho most conclusive evidence, one vory seri ous objection to tho same may be removed. But still there is no need whatever of extending the limits of the Battery, which as a ptensure resort in summer. meets the wants of our people now, and is too lar down town ever to becomo more needed than at this moment. Wo awsit with much interest tho course which Ihe Mayor will tnko in tho premise. Mr. Kinuslanp is generally pretty correct in hisconclusions, and not apt to be hasty iu his actions, when on them tepeud important consequences, Tho steamer EmpiroCity, which sailed yesterday for Chagres, look two hundred aud fifty passengers. This large number for this season of the year, and shows that California still possesses attractions for emigrating, which are not to be wWistnod.

Mr. Brewster was engaged in the wholosale hat business, in Water st met, and was highly esteemed as a merchant, and as a man, by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. It seldom happens that any event casts a deeper gloom about the vicinity of its occurrence, than did this on Thursday.

Tho followingJecisiuns under the New Postage Act, made by the Poatmastar General, after consulting with the Attorney General, will bo found of interest to our readers, nnd should lie preserved lor reference, asthoy present a succinct statement of rates of postage to bo charged on the various classes of mailable matter, aud ut the rules governing iheir payment. The postage on all bound books and all other printed matter, except newtpapcrt and pervxlieals published at in terval! not exceeding three months and sent from the office of publication to actual and bona JUle subscrthert, nmai bo prepaid. If the amount paid and marked on such printed matter is not sufttetenl to pay the whole postage due, the excess of weight beyond that paid for, is to be charged with double the rato which would have beencharged if prepaid, and the postage on such excess collected at tho olliee of delivery. If, by the. neglect of a Post mus ter, such matter is sent without any prepayment, the double prepaid rate must be collected on delivery. Postage must be charged on all letters, newspapers, and other matter,' aooordiug to the distance ou the rout by THURSDAY which thryareforwaded, and this (unlen otherwise directed by the sender) must be the route by which they will soonest reach their destination, although thut may not be the shortest route. On letters to and from Great Britain (nnd the Continent of Europe, when tent through England) the rates of postage ami modes of ruling will be thu suino as heretofore, except bb to letters to or from California and Orofion, in respect to which special instructions will be hereafter given. On all letters to or from the Continent of Europe, not tent through England, the Uiiited States inland and sea postage will in all cnaea bo combined, aud will be tweu ty cents Ihe single rate, without regard to the distance the same am carried withiu the Ur.ited States. The mode of rating will be the same as heretofore. Full tabular statements in regard to tlm rates of postage, both foreign and inland, will soon bo published Subscribers to periodicals, to obtain the hem fii of the provision in regard to pre payment, must puv the full quarter's postage before Iho delivery uf ihe first mt in ner, wnen mere are several numbers to bo delivered luring Ihe quarter. If. by rensou of nnv increase in the sio of ihe periodical, orothei wise, it shall appear that the whole quarter's postage was not so paid iu advance, tho subscriber will lose the benefit oipre-pay-mont, and the numbers received during the whole quarter will be charged with the double or unpaid rate, aud the subscriber will bo credited with only tho amount paid in advnnce. Under the provision of Iho 2d section of iho new postage act, no newspaper a other than those published week ly oni.t, are entitled to circulate tree of posture in the comities where published. Tho office of publication is Ihe otlice where the newspaper is printed. In deiermiuiog newspaper postals, the distances are to lie computed Irom the otlice of publication, and not from the county itl whn:h tlm' paper in published ; uud tho distance is nUo to be computed over llio routo ou which it is carried. Netespapert published weeklv onlu. in a count n ahninin the Canada line, may bo sent bee to Canada, provided they do not leave the county of publication until they cross the line into Canada.

Jenny is a bird, a beautiful bird; a nightingale. aud a sweet sinking nightingale : she has a voice to " raise a mortal to the skies," or " draw ou angel down," and a baud open as a day to melting charily." But Jenny is not all angel ; ihem is something predominant uf Ihe real flesh, blood, and temper of the true womun about her, and this, at times, she shows most satislactorilv in all who am curious upon such points, aud have access to ino iriiiu. In pursuance of tho encasement of Mr. Barnum and Jenny, they came to this eity Inst Saturday to give their farewell concerts hero. Ou going to rehenrsal, the nightingale found hor cago was in a disused Circus, where tfie usual preparations for seating a multitude of thousands had been made by Mr. B. She and her party did not like this arrangement at all, and preity plainly evinced as much ; which being made perfectly pulpa- . Kmiriiiuu, uuuresseu a note to tue lady, lolling her that be was willing, if she was, to close the ocgagement b!ween them, at any moment There wero seven ingots more lor tier lo sing, to complete the first hundred concerts, and if she would pay him seven thousand dollars, ho ottered to cancel tho nirrae- ment. (The Philadelphia Bullotin says that Mr Bar uum offered to release her from the remainder of tier engagement, if she would increase the sum of t'Jj.OOO which was to be forfeited oil dissolving iheir contract at the ono hundredth concert to $-.27,000.) Thislfer was accepted by the other parly on thu instant, without counsel or advice fiomuny body. I nlorumlion of tho fact was sent off hero and there, about tho city. was freely discussed in but-ioomaaud at street corners, and sent over every telegraph wiro lh.it alrek he out of Philadelphia. Meanwhile, a large nnd fashionable nmlitnrv Rem. bled at "Cook's circus," or, as it is sometimes called. " tfie National Theatre,' iu Clieaiuut street, and Jenny made her appearance before them. She waaevideutly annoyed, and made no secret of her disgust at being obliged to sing iu suw-dtiat. and in tho viciniiv nl & stable. The frequency with which she annlied her gossamer kerchief to her lace betokened that aho did not think the ,lrt) in wbu h she waa at all akin to "The bower ol rosf-s by llrnuVim-er't stream, Thst nigh ll ua. ales siiii in, nil riy long." But llio concert went ou pretty well, upon the whole, and ihero was any quantity of (uihui,iiii,and encores were frequent. Jeunv'a protege, young GoUUchuiidt, the pianist, to whom she seems determined to give a fair chance of making hia way, nnd so puts him into almost overy one ot her programmes, for two performances, Whs annniinred tir uu elnboraie piece in each part, (It was veryclear, befme he bad made much progress in his fird elfort, thai the nndteiieo thought it a bore, and, Ihouh Jenny slmal an he door, intently listening lo, and apparently i harmed by tfie performance, tho promenaders nnd tandees were evidently dis-powd lo "guy" the young arlut and push him fn.in hia stool, by nn excess of applause, the irony of which was but too apparent. Coming to a somewhat speedtei terminal ion ut his etfiirt thau he intended, nnd relm itino- from the singe, Im was met at Iho door by Jenny, who taking a stop or two forward, conlaitly took Ins band and led him off with an air tlmt was quite beautiful m behold ! It was worth the Value of the highest priced licket to Witney that tittle bit of paot imp. Gold schmidt did l ol pUv the morerori sol down lor him, iu the aeflond prt in tho programme, but dashed oil instead, something short and sweot, ami thus wua leas tolerable and not lo tie endured,'' Itiaii before-The concert being over, tho nhthlincale wa driven with her attendant, to the private door of Jone's lintel iu Chestnut street, before which a cordon of the new police witli badges on their hu, ami staves in their hands, was drawn up ; but for what purpose oould not be perceived. Excepting a lew loungers on the porticos nf tho hotels, pie living there, there waa nothing liko a gathering in the vicinity that 1 could sue; and when Jenny hnd jumped out of the coach, and tripped up the front stairs ot tho hotel, ihe police wuut away, and in five minutes every ihing was still be- iwueii mxin anu poventn streets, as if there never had been such a being in ihe world as n Swedish nightingale.Hub morning lares posters were nut forth nn h observable pUees m the city, announcing that Jenny uuiu wouiii givo a concert, to-morrow evening, (Wednesday) at Musical Fund Hall, at three dollars admis sioii to every part of the room, and no auction. As this is posted, tho tickets, (it is said by Ihose who assume to know,) are going Uf " like hot cukes," Very likely. There will be somo curiosity, of course, to see how the experiment of Jenny without Barnum will worK; nor is it io no apprehended, I think, that she will mi"s his method, tiwt, and experience, not a littlo.

Some oiio who calls himself " A Democrat from the Northwest " is trying to delend Judge HPAr.ntna in the column! of ihe Cincinnati Enqnircr. He says tho Judge has a plain right to treat tho lw ns unconstitutional if ho so regard it that if it is unconstitutional it is no law that it ia defending and supporting the constitution and the government to treat the law a B nullity, &c. The asmimptinn thut the law ia unconstitutional, nnd all the oilier inferences, constitute the very giat of the offence. Who selected Aim to judge of the constitutionality of the law? There is a Supreme Court of iho United Slates nt Washington, whose business it ia to da-cide lliin point, and several of tho jndgos have, on their circuit, decided tho law to he constitutional, while notu of them havo ventured on the expression of a contrary opinion. If each citizen ia to be permitted to form nn opinion about tho lawn of the State and nation, and huso hia net inn thereon, ho must be prepared to tako the consequences. Possibly he may bo right. Possibly the court, whoso duty it ia to determine, may uatain hia views, But if they do not, them is no valid oxcuso why the penalty that ia provided against law breaker alionld not be inflicted. This pretence that each diiu liaa thu right to judgo of tho jusiicennd expediency and constitutionality uf lawn, and to treat the law as a nullify if it ia not acceptable, is all wrung, and mnat be put down, or there ia an end of all government. The vorieit horae-thiof or counterfeiter in tho land can escape piiiiiahtuuut if this plea in to be respected and allowed. We are not required to love every law, or to he in favor of every law. We may object to any measure, and nie all legal means to have it repented, and all this is legitimate and proper. II we permit our opposition to go beyond that and tako it upon ua to trample on the law, then we go beyond the boundary of good citizenship, and must take the consequences. This distinction is so palpable and lies so completely at tho very foundation of a republican government that it ought to be understood and respected by every good citizen. The argument of this Northwestern Democrnt does not at all satisfy the editor of the Enquirer. In commenting on tho communication he closes with the following:"The truth is, there can be no decent apology fur Judge Spalding's cunduet. lie haa dictated uimelfiti our opinion, and we havo no notion by our ailencc, to allow that disgrace to attach to the Democratic party. Ed. E.-vquiiuk." Straws showing the set ot the Wind. A very nice young gentleman once offered to negotiate a loan ol a business man, cm a piece of very " doubtful " piper, carelessly add-ng that he would endorse it as addltiotial security lo the louder. "Humph" was the reply, "Me note ia bad enough without the addition." Tuis anecdote has buen frequently brought to our recollection nf late, on seeing in the Northern papers (Free-soil included) euthusiaaiic notices of the " Union Constitutional " candidates io Gcorgi i, Alabama, aud Mississippi, with warm wishes for their success. We append a small sample of their kind and quality from the Ohio Slate Journal: "Charles C. Langdon, editor nf the Mobile Advertiser, has accepted the nomination of tho Whigs of his district as their candidate lor Congress. We receive tho Advertiaer regularly, and rpgard it one of the beat paers wo receive troiu I lie South, Mr. Langduu will probably be elected, aud will be an honor to hia district and Slate." The Free-soil orthnrdoxyof this organ of Ohio Whig- fory, no man in his senses wilt deny. It knows its riends at the South. Southern Preaa, We laughed heartily over tho intioJuctory part of the above, and still insist that U is very pussublo wit. The practical application is, that the endorsement of Mr. Lanodon, by the Ohio State Journal, only make it more evident th it tho said Liinnoif is a free toiler. This pun Is a little too dim and far-fetched to be either good wit or good stne. . In the first plaee, we aaid nothing about freo soil; and in the second pluco, we know nothing nbout Mr. Lanoook's notions on this particulnr biauch of polities. Wo only Unow him as u Whig, nf decided ability, and as an ardent and uucom- promising Union man, utterly opposed to the lire eating disunl'nists and traitors that swarm in some parts of the South. The Southern Pma insists that no man in his senses will deny the fret anil orthodoxy of the Ohio State Journal. Nw, we wilt inform llio editor that several men In Ohio, who claim to be aniie, sensible people, insist that the Jmrnal ia the organ of thu pro-tlavery party. All the exclusive, nothing elio but fiue soil papers will prove very satisfactorily to themselves tlmt tho Southern Preti isenihcly misUken. We have no par ticulnr interest in this controversy, hut will beg leave to suggest to tho ciniibainnts I lint the Journal ia tho or gan ol neither. It ia a HViif paper. The editor baa got it into hia head i lint there are n several persons in the Union beside nerot'i, and never.il important inte rests beside those of free Mi. Wo trust Iho Southern Prtaa and the free soil papers o Olii.i will solllo vexed question somehow. We noticed a now Untnre in our railr-tnd travel yesterday. One car was almost entirely tilled with Lumbermen, who bad floated down iho Ohio nnd M aisippi from the pine regions of the Allehiny river, in Pennsylvania and New York. Those men visit nil points from Pittsburgh to New Orleans; nnd tifter His posing of their lumber, find their way homo with the proceeds in their pm-ket. Heretofore they have taken the steamboats for Pittsburgh, and then got to their homes as host they could. They now tnko tho cars nt Cincinnati lu the morning, nnd the next morning find themselves at Brio, Pa., Dunkirk or rtuftaln ; and from these places, the moans of getting lo their homes ate direct and moid. They save some days' time, and some dollars in money by taking tho now route. Very like n tMorm. The Chicago Commercial Advertiier gives an account of a tremendous tornado that psed over Wiutiebngo and Ogle counties, Illinois, ou tho Ut of Juno. It seems that Gov. Hkrr was caught iu it, but narrowly escaped Tho following details will be roud with in terest : The house of Mr. Miller, in Oglo county, between North Urove and liyron. 1 here was nut one person, lady, in the house when the aiorm struck it. Sim ran to close the door, hut was Caught by tho whirlwind and earned n distance of twenty rods, and dropped into a slouch, and the softness of the ground prevented any injury, the house was torn to atoms. The next houto in its course was that of the father ol Mr. Mdler, which was severely injured. Tho old gentleman was severely, but not fatally hurt. The next bouse was that of Mr. Hurch, His family was iu the house at the limo of the tornado. The whole building was caught up and removed twenty feet aud let down upou the roof, an as to leave the rid lem in the earth; it was again caught up and carried nbout thirty rods iu ine tiosom ot the tornado, nnd linaiiy dashed to pieces, i he wtte nt William tfiirrh, and tiei three children, ami ihe wife of Uemamin and one chili all perished, being literally torn to pieces. I). Bun was severely but it is thought pot mortally iuhircd His aurriviiiir child was sliiMitlv bruised. Out of the eight persons in that ill-fated house but two remain to remember the terrific scene. The next Inmso belonged to Mr. Shoemaker. There was a young nniu in it, who at ino appmurn ot in storm, attempted to lien out at the door, hut failing tialhe dropped Ommvh the floor in time to let lb house go teimntluss through the heavens. Hut he anon followed, ho was taken up and rarried near half a mile and dropped in a grove ot small timner, and marvel-lous as it may atqiear, the only serious injury he received was the dislocating of the wrist. The names "f all the sufferers we could not learn t but Imuses, barns, fences, orchards, oaltle, and in short, everything that came within the way of the tornado was swept away. Gov. Ilebb, who was returning home to Freeport from Rock ford, with a cooking stove, furniture and pipe in the hack part of his wagon, saw the storm approaching and atlompted to drive out of its way. lie succeeded in escaping himself, but the furniture of his stove and pipe were cauiiiu in tne loius ot tho whirlwind and carried to parts unknown. A gentleman who in company with Gov. Dobb ex amined several miles or tne tracK ol the storm, do-acribes the country as being literally atrewn with the wrecks and fragments of build inga, furniture, fences and dend animals. A gentleman who witnessed tho march of tho tornado, describes it as ono of terrillic nnd sublime beauty and grandeur, presenting the appearance of an inverted cone, the base covering an urea of about 40 rods, its eoluinn gradually oxpniiding until it lost itself in the heavens, tho wrecks of its devastating power whirling iu wild confusion around the awful vortex, or driven y centrifugal force beyond tho radius of the whirlwind, fulling in ruin upon iho prairies.

The principal employees iu tho place were milk- maids, or dairy-women, who were in the service of the i larger farmers, engaged in making butter and cheese, lor which the village hnd atiite a favorable rennUitinn. Having stirred up the miuds of these damsels to the proper pitch, he vailed a public meeting lor a redrehs ion ot meir grievances. The village school house was the place of assembling, and the tallow dips, suspended from the tin reflectors ' about the room, throw a flickering, ghostly light over' thu faces of tho audience.

J he motion prevailing, he drew from hia porkot a paper which, to inve time, he had previously prepared, and which read as follows: " Whereas it ia the inalienable right ol overy woman engaged in a laborious occupation to have all the coin- oita whirii sue requires; ana wnerens, tho better to re cure these cnmlort. and to add to them audi luxir rtes as shall be lit the station alio ought to occupy, it is neeessaty that thero should tie union ot ellort among all engagod in tho same description ul toil: thoro fore " Rf tot vol.

Thea resolutions were passed nem con., although ui'iny uf the sensible (and therefore tho more bashf ul) girls present at the meeting saw that they were im practicable, and, if adhered to, would tend to nothing but mischief. Still no one liked to bo pointed at as on the side of oppression, aud so no voice Was raised in opposition.The next day alt die milk-maids of the place were ou a "strikt," and tne whole town was m s lerment. The scene in tho picture which I am noticing occurred at a largo farm bouse, where alt the assembled girls were demanding uf the owner his consent to their " bill of rictus.." " I'll tell you what, girts," said the old farmer, " I've lived here, boy and man, for nigh fifty years, and have always maue my own bargains, and never bad a word of dilliculty with my help unless somebody else interfered. Some women folks are worth more than others, aud them as earns good wages always gets it. I've had five or six girls married from here, aud they've all turned out well. Sometimes one has got uneasy and left, but such kind never did well anywhere. If any of yon are short of money for a now dress, or think you ain't paid enough, why, come to me in a quiet way, and I'll do what's reasonable.

" All the choicest hands stayed ; a few others left, and soon applied to come back, but their places were filled bynew comers. The old farmer's steady employment, kind treatment, and ready pay, were too welt known not to call out those who appreciate the advantages of sucn a situation, uver the history oi those who lett lot charity draw a veil; they had fallen under evil influences, and were led on to ruin.

A fflurdur in France The Paris correspondent of tho St. Louis Republican rclntes tho following horrible transaction: Paiiis, May 14, 1851. A terrible affair of Ihe most thrilling' interest is about being judged by the criminal court of Mons. In one t my letters last winter, t tteiiovo I mentioned tho leatfi of a Mr. Fougnies, at tho chateau of bis brother- law, Count Bocarme, and of the nrreat of the latter and his wife, an spec ted of having murdered the young man. I have forborne to apeak of the trial heretofore, preferring to wait until the evidence had brought some L'bt upon the dread lul circumstances. Hut now thut Madame do Bocarme has confessed, and lhat sentence if death will certainly bo pronounced upon the tins- band, I nmy relate tho particulnia of a crime which ireibly rocnlls all the terror of the murder of the Duchess do Pnisltii. Count Bocarme nnd his wife bo-long to two of the most noble aud honorable families Franco. He, when a young man, was very dissipa-I, so much ro that his father, in the hope, id' reform ing him, scut him to iho United States, where lie remained several years. Nearly two years wero spent iti Ht. Louis, and probably some of your citizens may II remember the haudhomo dishing young Count, who spent his money so freely, nnd who made himself so agreeablo in every society. Hisfatberdied, undhe returned to r ranee to lake pnnsesion ol a title and a large estate. In less than two years, however, he had run through alt his fortune, nnd was besides so burdened witli debts that he was obliged to contrnct a wealthy nllinnce, in order to save himself from ruin. Ho marriod Mademoiselle Emilie Fougnies, a young liuly who had spent most of her life in a convent, but who was endowed with a great deal of imagination. and a very romantic turn of mind. She bad written , one or two novels which hud some literary merit. This tudy and tier brother wero tho only heirs to a large property, which soon after the marriage of the former, was equally divided between them, Nu fortune, how ever could last long iu the hands of such a man as ount tiocarino. lie played high, wns chief man ol every horse rnce, nnd, in short, at the end of a few years found himself in almost ns desperate a condition as when ho married, and be now looked forward to the deatli of his brother-in-law as the only means of relief, as tne Uountcsa would of course inherit all tier brother's property. Tho health of M. de Fougnies seem-od to give great Impo that the wished for event would not be long in occurring. Besides being of a delicate constitution, lie had in his youth met with an accident winch deprived him ol one leg, and materially injured his health. It was for this reason that ho never thought f marrying. He was deeply attached to hia sister ut soon discovering too unprincipled character of the Count, ho discontinued his visits to the chateau. It was hen tlmt he began to feel the need ol a companion at Home, and was finally induced to offer bis band tou very estimable lady ot rank in ihe neighborhood. He was accepted, aud the preparation tor the marriage be- ii. It was then that M. de Fougnies determined to make is sister a visit in order to inf orm tier in person of the approaching change in his condition. , Ho therefore wrote her a note saying ho would dine with her the next day. Poor man ! little did he expect the prepara tions lhat would be made to receive bun. lie arrived at tho chateau, and according to the testimony of the domestics, was greeted with cordiality by the count, and with great alloc lion by ibe countess. Dinner was served, and the sonants were then ordered to loave he room. It chills the blood to think of the scone that followed. Madame de Bocarme, according to her own confession, hud ordered tfie female servants all to go and remain with the children in another part of the house very far removed from the dining room, and the men servants were eutiug their dmucr in tho basement1 1 tie wretched woman says that the threats ol her litis- aud forced her not only to witness, but to aid in the scene that ensued. A glass ot poisoned wine was ol lered to tho devoted brother, hut he declined drinking any more. The count instantly sprang up, throw M. de rougmesdown, aud while the countess held htm, potir- il tho liquor down his throat! Ho lived but a few minutes, in great agony. Just before tie hreuthed his ant, however, one of the women servants who had ppmnclied the dining-room, door, and hearing groans entered without ceremony, She was shocked at what ho saw, but she says lhat neither ihe count nor counl- 'bs shed a tear, or seemed tho least acitated, as they luted lhat M. do Fougnies had fallen down in nu apu- leclic lit. Tho wouinli did not believe ibis, but went nit and immediately sent oil an account of tho affair to tho prefect. He came, and utouiuqtiiring into the circumstances, found the answers of iho husband nnd wile so unsatisfactory that ho committed both to prison. Tho physicinua declared upon examining the body of M. do Fougnies lhat poison enough had been adminis tered to kill four men. It is impossible to tell you tho excitement the tiovvs of thu d rend lul murder caused in tho fashionable circles of Mmis and Paris, where the count and countess wero well known. Doth husband aud wile stoutly nnd iuvarialdy denied any agency in thu death of M. do Fougnies, until a week ago, when Madiimo de Bocarmo made a fullcoiih'ssiou. What the rdict of the jury will lie in regard to her, it is imtms- siblo to say ; but her husband will certainly Im con demned, lie, b.is ii I ready tiled to commit suicide iwice, but without success. Poor wretch ! for the sake of a little property lie did not hesiiate to tako the lito of a brother who had never wronged him, and nn ignominious death on the scaffold ia the fate ho lias brought upon himself.

And wo must not termit our feelings to become o strongly enlisted in lavor of any ono man, that we cannot cuter Into tho field of labor for some other man, if our favorite should not happen to be nom inated. There is time enough to deliberate on this sub ject, and good sound reasons why we should act in con cert when the day ol aft tou comes, The Democratic, parly secure of a majority in Con gress, can very well all'urd to quarrel and run sectional candidates.

The Courter and Enquirer Buys; Although thirteen of tho States of tho Union have yet to elect Representatives iu the ttMrty-second Con gress, mere is iitiio uimcuuy m ariving at a pretty close estimate of the relalivo strength, of parties in the House d urine the two sessions next ensaimr. A mons the eighteen States whose delegations are already full, are included the great Statea of New York, PenusyWa- nia and Ohio, so that even a slight miscalculation of the results to be anticipated in the elections yet to uccur, cannot mntermllv rhanvA thn aanert of the ense. Itl true lhat party lines have been very much disturbed of iute py exciting sectional issues ; out experience ieac ir es tlmt there is little difficulty m hxing ine relative position of secessieuists or freesoilers. Upon all ques tions involving a nartv vote, thev are quite sure to act with the parties, respectively, to which they claimed al legiance prior to trie estatnisnmeui oi sccuousi uivis ions. The following table exhibits the relative strength of parlies, so far as the delegations havo beon filled : FrewolL Frwsnll, Whigs. Demoorats. Whig. Democrat.

That ih Whigs will do so badly in these States at the ensuing elections is hardly possible. Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama and other of tho Southern States are merging old party divisions, and mnking Union or Dis-union tho rallying points. In Virginia, too, whose Representative strength is the greatest among the States who have yet to elect, this issue will enter largely in the crudest. We can hardly fail to gain something in the States thus enumerated, while nt the snme time wo have nothing to lose. In Tennessee, ndiana and Kentucky, also, ir our friends aro active, venunnnt fail to improve our present condition; while in California we have every mnsonto anlipate a gain of two. Still wo cannot hope to elect more than half of e members which remain to ho chosen. At tho best. then, we may anticipate no reduction nf tho present Loco mnpinty uu;ongrrss, it indeed tt be not increased. In view of tho derangement of party lines, growing out of the sectional agitation of the hist year or two, and iho multiplication of I'roaidentialtcundidates, it is becoming a question whether tho duty ol electing a President of tho United States will not devolve upon lie House of IleprosentaliveB. The pnssibilityof raich an event renders unusually important tho political complexion of that body. Each Stato, in that case, will have otie vote, to be controlled by tlm viows of (be majority ot its delegation, lu only nvoot tho thirteen States which have already elected, have the Whips a majority, white the opposition controls eleven, and two New York and Rhode Island aro equally divided. This disparity against us wo cannot expect to overcome in the Congressional elections yet to tako pluco ; and it will be seen, therefore, that our only reliance must bo upon tho people nnd the Electoral College. In this view, it becomes doublv important that in nrenar. ing for the coming campaign, nothingshould be omitted men is calculated to concentrate tho entire Whig voto the Union upon the regular nomination, when it all have been made.

Mr. Editor: In this morning's paper we see a long article on the ever-engrossing subjectof Railroads, Wo are somewhat Democratic iu our railroad ideas. In dis cussing (hecompordw mmsof tho three proposed routi of shortening the distance betweeu the Queen aud the Forest Cities, it is not an item to consider only the primary expense, lu oilier words, we are oi tne opinion, and not without meditation, that the road from Springfield Jo Loudon is, to uso an old maxim, " penny wibo and pound foolish." That the primary expense would be much less is very evident. But whether ihe same amount of general good would be done by this short cut, is a matter about which "commentators ouout lo disagree." To take a Democratic view of the subject, do you not think (for we know you to be liberal minded) mat uuion county ought to have the bone tit ol somo ot tho internal improvements that are now being constructed t As you have very candidly alledged, the counties of Union and Delaware are " rich ami of unbounded resources." But, dear sir, what are iho conveniences lor bringing theso great resources into market I True, tho Delaware people can hear the fuint echo of the iron horse's neigh," as ho madly plunges through thoie " muddy brakes," but, as if fearing lest tho iron hoofs should disappear in their "dark, deep mould," he hurries by, only leaving iu his misty train the "gaping mouths and "staling eyes" of the affrighted people, and butchered thicks, as a testimony of " passing away." But in Union county, notewn the echo of tho gushing steam not even the show or em-blance of any thing of the kind, disturbs the quiet of tho sleeping vales. Does this look Democratic 1 Is this monopoly spirit tho same which the Democratic Whig nf Guliimbus acknowtedo thouiseivea t be governed by Did it ever occur lo you lhat if you lay a rule on tho man of Ohio, one end on the Queen and tho other on iho Forest City, that in an almost rfi- t tme, un (i iiiauiieany ine shortest, tnu line passes Ui ton fil the modest villages of Mansfield, Delaware, and Xenia T As a citizen of Columbus, I think it will appear very selfish, iu ub lo discuss the comparative merits of the shortest way to get the main roads from the River to the Lake to pass through our city. When the objection to any such project is so evident, would it not ho ihe " better part ol policy " to advise what wo bioien to be right, and avoid " even the appearance of evil " I Lot us remember then the patriot's cry, "Mm Sibi, nonSi'A seo patria" I Yours, respectfully, A CITIZEN. Ourcorrespoiidont places this question on the ground of patriotism, nnd we decline any controversy thereon, as it is un element not moch discussed among railroad men, and capitalists who aro urged lo tako stock. There aro a great many points lhat it would assist wonderfully, to accommodato with a good railroad. But tho great primary question, will it pay, must first bo settled, and then another question will be connidend : cannot this object be secured by some other ruuie ut less expense? Upon these points tho question of location depends. The people of Springfield wish to connect with tlm Cleveland mad, and also with somo great mute to tho East. And we of Columbus aro equally desirous of connecting with some great Western thoroughfare. All these objects can bo secured by the Springfield and London road. Heuce, wo think it worthy tho attention of capitalists. If tho road from Springfield to Delawure can lie built, and will pay, we can interpose nu objection. We desire that all parts ot the State should have the benefit of these roods. Af ter alt, capitalists and business men have to settle these questions. Correspondence of the Journal. New York, June 14, 1851. There is no littlo speculation going on hore, in refer ence to the abrupt terminnliuu of Barnum's engagement with Miss Lird. Some would endeavor to make it appear that a rupture has taken place between the two parties, which has led to this sudden change in their business relations. But there seems to bo no grounds fur such suppositions. On the contrary, the answer of Miss Limd, accepting tho offer of releaie made by Barhuh, ia indicative of the same friendly feelings, lu all respects, which before existed. As stie will, during the summer, give concerts on hor own account, she will no doubt be overy where received ai welcoraely as she has been on her late tour through our country. Bahhum certainly has a shrewd aud sue- ceaaful way of managing affairs, but I do not think that to this is owing the prosperity entirety of the con certs, while under bis direction. Jemhi Lind does, and ,will stand on her own merits. By these she attained the high rank which she has in Europe; and had she come to us uuknown, she would, undoubtedly, have boor succeeded in obtaining here a name and reputation, as a vocalist, which many might envy, but few or none reach. The bill tor the Enlargement of iho Battery, which lately passed the Board of Aldermen, has aroused much nttention. The matter was talked about two or three years ago, but was almost forgotten, when it is again brought to notice, in a manner, which compels opposition to the scheme to be made at once, or nut at alt. It is yet a mooted question whether the filling in of so large a space, on each side of Oustlo Garden, may not result in placing obstructions in our harbor by diverting the river from its present channel, which may seriously affect the interests of commerce, aud tho pros- jwriiy of our metropolis. Before any steps should be takcu, involving consequences nut fully to be foresoen, in a measure like that above mentioned, the subject should be most calmly considered iu all its bearings. For when the thing is once done, the mischief, if any. is irreparable, ihe Chamber of Commerce, fully aware iff the imparlance of the proposed Enlargement, hold a special meeting to-day, lo examine into Ihe matter and review. the probable effects which may en sue, it the proposition shall tie matured. The report which will emanate from this body will bo well worthy nf attention, and will, no doubt, have its due weight with ihe Mayor, with whom the aflair now If tlds shall take the ground that the Enlarge. mont will cause no injury to our harbor, and shall bo baaed on tho most conclusive evidence, one vory seri ous objection to tho same may be removed. But still there is no need whatever of extending the limits of the Battery, which as a ptensure resort in summer. meets the wants of our people now, and is too lar down town ever to becomo more needed than at this moment. Wo awsit with much interest tho course which Ihe Mayor will tnko in tho premise. Mr. Kinuslanp is generally pretty correct in hisconclusions, and not apt to be hasty iu his actions, when on them tepeud important consequences, Tho steamer EmpiroCity, which sailed yesterday for Chagres, look two hundred aud fifty passengers. This large number for this season of the year, and shows that California still possesses attractions for emigrating, which are not to be wWistnod. Wo look tor iwo weeks later news from this laud of gold, hardships and privations, early next week. Howuver we do not wituess any marked improvement in busiueis, yet, for some time lo ontno, or, until the enormoos supplies in San Francisco, of all descriptions of gnods, shall undergo a largo decrease, V Yon will probably hour before this will roach you. of the melancholy death of Mr. Joseph Brewster. Two lays ago be was on board of the ship Challenge, at tending to tlie storage of some merchandise, when ho accidental) j fell through tho hatch-wny into the hold. When taken out, shortly afterwards, be was insensible, and boiug removed to his storo, not far distant, ho ex pired thoro about two hours later, alt oxortions to stive his life having proved fruitless. Mr. Brewster was engaged in the wholosale hat business, in Water st met, and was highly esteemed as a merchant, and as a man, by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. It seldom happens that any event casts a deeper gloom about the vicinity of its occurrence, than did this on Thursday. When it becainu known, sorrow sat on many countenances, and a deep sadness seized many hearts. To-day, the one uf tho Itinera!, our wholesale and many of our retail hat establishments, close from 3 to 5 o'clock F. M., having passed resolutions to lhat efleet, at a meeting held yesterday. Mr. Brewster was in the sixty-third year of his age. Yours truly, W. The new I'oBtiifrc Lnw. Tho followingJecisiuns under the New Postage Act, made by the Poatmastar General, after consulting with the Attorney General, will bo found of interest to our readers, nnd should lie preserved lor reference, asthoy present a succinct statement of rates of postage to bo charged on the various classes of mailable matter, aud ut the rules governing iheir payment. The postage on all bound books and all other printed matter, except newtpapcrt and pervxlieals published at in terval! not exceeding three months and sent from the office of publication to actual and bona JUle subscrthert, nmai bo prepaid. If the amount paid and marked on such printed matter is not sufttetenl to pay the whole postage due, the excess of weight beyond that paid for, is to be charged with double the rato which would have beencharged if prepaid, and the postage on such excess collected at tho olliee of delivery. If, by the. neglect of a Post mus ter, such matter is sent without any prepayment, the double prepaid rate must be collected on delivery. Postage must be charged on all letters, newspapers, and other matter,' aooordiug to the distance ou the rout by THURSDAY which thryareforwaded, and this (unlen otherwise directed by the sender) must be the route by which they will soonest reach their destination, although thut may not be the shortest route. On letters to and from Great Britain (nnd the Continent of Europe, when tent through England) the rates of postage ami modes of ruling will be thu suino as heretofore, except bb to letters to or from California and Orofion, in respect to which special instructions will be hereafter given. On all letters to or from the Continent of Europe, not tent through England, the Uiiited States inland and sea postage will in all cnaea bo combined, aud will be tweu ty cents Ihe single rate, without regard to the distance the same am carried withiu the Ur.ited States. The mode of rating will be the same as heretofore. Full tabular statements in regard to tlm rates of postage, both foreign and inland, will soon bo published Subscribers to periodicals, to obtain the hem fii of the provision in regard to pre payment, must puv the full quarter's postage before Iho delivery uf ihe first mt in ner, wnen mere are several numbers to bo delivered luring Ihe quarter. If. by rensou of nnv increase in the sio of ihe periodical, orothei wise, it shall appear that the whole quarter's postage was not so paid iu advance, tho subscriber will lose the benefit oipre-pay-mont, and the numbers received during the whole quarter will be charged with the double or unpaid rate, aud the subscriber will bo credited with only tho amount paid in advnnce. Under the provision of Iho 2d section of iho new postage act, no newspaper a other than those published week ly oni.t, are entitled to circulate tree of posture in the comities where published. Tho office of publication is Ihe otlice where the newspaper is printed. In deiermiuiog newspaper postals, the distances are to lie computed Irom the otlice of publication, and not from the county itl whn:h tlm' paper in published ; uud tho distance is nUo to be computed over llio routo ou which it is carried. Netespapert published weeklv onlu. in a count n ahninin the Canada line, may bo sent bee to Canada, provided they do not leave the county of publication until they cross the line into Canada. Newspaper publishers may send and receive their exchaugo newspapers to and from Canada freo of charge. A newsnnner IS not a norindienl within tbn miitniiim and intent of tho provision which requires the postage on periodicals to be paid io advance, and declares that ine postage thereon shall be one-hull nt tho rates previously specified in the 2d section of the act. All subscribers of newspapers wero nnd still ore required by the provisions of tho 30th section of the uct of March, loj.t, to pay one quarter s postage in advance; but by so doing they aro nni entitled to have tho iiobIh.h ni. duecd below the established rates. J aymenta tn advance on newspapers anil periodicals can only be made by the subscribers at Vie pott office where they arc to be delivered.

When a periodical is published only quarterly, tint actual nnd bona fide subscriber tor audi periodical may pay in advance, and have the benefit of tho advanco payment, providtd he pays to iho poBtmnstor at the nftic.tj where he is to receive tho periodical before its delivery. If a periodical is published less frequently than quarterly, the postage must be lM?iHiu, unu ai me inn rate.

Corretpondpnco of iho N. Y. Express. Jenny Lind nnd fturiiuiii--Cause of the Disruption Philapclpiiia, June 11. Jenny is a bird, a beautiful bird; a nightingale. aud a sweet sinking nightingale : she has a voice to " raise a mortal to the skies," or " draw ou angel down," and a baud open as a day to melting charily." But Jenny is not all angel ; ihem is something predominant uf Ihe real flesh, blood, and temper of the true womun about her, and this, at times, she shows most satislactorilv in all who am curious upon such points, aud have access to ino iriiiu. In pursuance of tho encasement of Mr. Barnum and Jenny, they came to this eity Inst Saturday to give their farewell concerts hero. Ou going to rehenrsal, the nightingale found hor cago was in a disused Circus, where tfie usual preparations for seating a multitude of thousands had been made by Mr. B. She and her party did not like this arrangement at all, and preity plainly evinced as much ; which being made perfectly pulpa- . Kmiriiiuu, uuuresseu a note to tue lady, lolling her that be was willing, if she was, to close the ocgagement b!ween them, at any moment There wero seven ingots more lor tier lo sing, to complete the first hundred concerts, and if she would pay him seven thousand dollars, ho ottered to cancel tho nirrae- ment. (The Philadelphia Bullotin says that Mr Bar uum offered to release her from the remainder of tier engagement, if she would increase the sum of t'Jj.OOO which was to be forfeited oil dissolving iheir contract at the ono hundredth concert to $-.27,000.) Thislfer was accepted by the other parly on thu instant, without counsel or advice fiomuny body. I nlorumlion of tho fact was sent off hero and there, about tho city. was freely discussed in but-ioomaaud at street corners, and sent over every telegraph wiro lh.it alrek he out of Philadelphia. Meanwhile, a large nnd fashionable nmlitnrv Rem. bled at "Cook's circus," or, as it is sometimes called. " tfie National Theatre,' iu Clieaiuut street, and Jenny made her appearance before them. She waaevideutly annoyed, and made no secret of her disgust at being obliged to sing iu suw-dtiat. and in tho viciniiv nl & stable. The frequency with which she annlied her gossamer kerchief to her lace betokened that aho did not think the ,lrt) in wbu h she waa at all akin to "The bower ol rosf-s by llrnuVim-er't stream, Thst nigh ll ua. ales siiii in, nil riy long." But llio concert went ou pretty well, upon the whole, and ihero was any quantity of (uihui,iiii,and encores were frequent. Jeunv'a protege, young GoUUchuiidt, the pianist, to whom she seems determined to give a fair chance of making hia way, nnd so puts him into almost overy one ot her programmes, for two performances, Whs annniinred tir uu elnboraie piece in each part, (It was veryclear, befme he bad made much progress in his fird elfort, thai the nndteiieo thought it a bore, and, Ihouh Jenny slmal an he door, intently listening lo, and apparently i harmed by tfie performance, tho promenaders nnd tandees were evidently dis-powd lo "guy" the young arlut and push him fn.in hia stool, by nn excess of applause, the irony of which was but too apparent. Coming to a somewhat speedtei terminal ion ut his etfiirt thau he intended, nnd relm itino- from the singe, Im was met at Iho door by Jenny, who taking a stop or two forward, conlaitly took Ins band and led him off with an air tlmt was quite beautiful m behold ! It was worth the Value of the highest priced licket to Witney that tittle bit of paot imp.

Excepting a lew loungers on the porticos nf tho hotels, pie living there, there waa nothing liko a gathering in the vicinity that 1 could sue; and when Jenny hnd jumped out of the coach, and tripped up the front stairs ot tho hotel, ihe police wuut away, and in five minutes every ihing was still be- iwueii mxin anu poventn streets, as if there never had been such a being in ihe world as n Swedish nightingale.Hub morning lares posters were nut forth nn h observable pUees m the city, announcing that Jenny uuiu wouiii givo a concert, to-morrow evening, (Wednesday) at Musical Fund Hall, at three dollars admis sioii to every part of the room, and no auction. As this is posted, tho tickets, (it is said by Ihose who assume to know,) are going Uf " like hot cukes," Very likely. There will be somo curiosity, of course, to see how the experiment of Jenny without Barnum will worK; nor is it io no apprehended, I think, that she will mi"s his method, tiwt, and experience, not a littlo.
